Multiple sclerosis is a heterogeneous disorder. Biomarkers to monitor disease activities are highly desirable especially because of the recent shift toward personalized medicine that coincides with the expansion of disease-modifying therapy. The visual system is highly involved in multiple sclerosis, and the rapid advancement of ophthalmic techniques has boosted the development of potential ocular biomarkers for multiple sclerosis management.
